Our Urban Village
The Aurora-Licton Springs Residential Urban Village has a unique background rooted in Native American history and the development of the state highway system.

Today, Aurora-Licton Springs is a Residential Urban Village designated as such by the City of Seattle. Boundaries are:

North 84th Street (southern)

North 110th Street (northern)

Fremont and Linden Avenues (western)

Wallingford Avenue (eastern)

Since the 1994 Residential Urban Village designation, the urban village has experienced significant increases in residential density. But little else has changed. Aurora-Licton Springs is missing key characteristics of sustainable urban villages such as pedestrian infrastructure, locally-serving businesses, community meeting places and facilities and well-designed streetscapes. Aurora Avenue continues to divide rather than unite the community.
